KIF1A is a brain-specific anterograde motor protein that transports cargoes towards the plus-ends of microtubules. Many variants of the  KIF1A  gene have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases and developmental delay. Homozygous mutations of  KIF1A  have been identified in a recessive subtype of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), SPG30. In addition,  KIF1A  mutations have been found in pure HSP with autosomal dominant inheritance. Here we report the first case of familial complicated HSP with a  KIF1A  mutation transmitted in autosomal dominant inheritance. A heterozygous p.T258M mutation in  KIF1A  was found in a Korean family through targeted exome sequencing. They displayed phenotypes of mild intellectual disability with language delay, epilepsy, optic nerve atrophy, thinning of corpus callosum, periventricular white matter lesion, and microcephaly. A structural modeling revealed that the p.T258M mutation disrupted the binding of KIF1A motor domain to microtubules and its movement along microtubules. Assays of peripheral accumulation and proximal distribution of KIF1A motor indicated that the KIF1A motor domain with p.T258M mutation has reduced motor activity and exerts a dominant negative effect on wild-type KIF1A. These results suggest that the p.T258M mutation suppresses KIF1A motor activity and induces complicated HSP accompanying intellectual disability transmitted in autosomal dominant inheritance.
